PHEASANTRIES
Pheasantries enters into a bright glass fronted hallway that alludes to the size and versatility of this modern family home. Doors from the hallway lead to a practical cloakroom and understairs cloaks cupboard, a family sitting room with bi-folding doors to a rear terrace and a feature exposed brick fireplace, and a separate dining room or more fashionably in todays world, a home office. A further door from the hallway opens into the beating heart of this family home, with a sociable open kitchen, with a utility and boot room, and a family room with bi-folding doors opening to an additional rear terrace.

To the first-floor, a galleried landing leads to a family bathroom and five bedrooms, two with contemporary en-suite facilities and a principal bedroom with an additional dressing area and Juliette balcony overlooking the meadows to the rear.

A broad shingle expanse provides ample driveway parking, as well as access to the open integral car port and neighbouring double garage. Beautifully framed by a wraparound lawn with meadow field views to the rear 

THE DEVELOPMENT
Under the charming gaze of the nearby All Saints Church and located directly behind The Old Red Cat Hotel, now simply descried as a traditional Norfolk Real Ale Inn, Briar Drift enjoys a green and leafy outlook over unspoilt meadow land to the rear. Approached over a shared private driveway Briar Drift consists of just two generous family homes on the rural edge of this picturesque village, The Pheasantries and Rookery Nook. 

LOCATION
The popular leafy hamlet of North Wootton rests betwixt the historic port town of King's Lynn and the near coastal, royal retreat in Sandringham. In its day the now disused village railway station would once have been familiar to the Royal family, being less than 3 miles away across the River Babingley from Wolferton Station, which served the nearby Sandringham Estate.

Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, neighbouring King's Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.

King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House, was once known as 'Stockfish Row' for the number of fish merchants that lived there. With a listed building every 26ft, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England.

With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour's drive and a direct rail line into London King's Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King's Lynn continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route. It's easy to see the appeal of this central location with a clutch of high street retailers and independent restaurants in the town's Vancouver Centre. The Majestic Cinema and King's Lynn Alive Corn Exchange are the place to catch a film or show, or check out what's on at St George's Guildhall, the UK's largest surviving medieval guildhall, today a vibrant arts centre.

A stunning cluster of Georgian architecture sits to the west of town and the streets surrounding The Walks, a Grade II listeThe popular leafy hamlet of North Wootton rests betwixt the historic port town of King's Lynn and the near coastal, royal retreat in Sandringham.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
